Yet too often, organisations lose strong candidates before interview – or new starters within months – because the experience doesn’t match the promise or the performance foundations are not properly in place.

In a cost-conscious climate, that kind of avoidable attrition is expensive. The candidate journey is no longer just about attraction; it directly influences retention, engagement, performance and employer brand credibility. Leveraging talent effectively is now fundamental to powering sustainable business growth. When candidate experience, onboarding and performance management are strategically aligned, businesses are far better positioned to convert talent into tangible growth and competitive advantage.

This People Management Insight webinar, produced in partnership with Talos360, explores how HR and business leaders can design an end-to-end talent strategy that reduces drop-off, strengthens commitment and drives performance from day one and beyond.

We cover:

• Using AI to remove friction from your application and interview process without losing the human touch
• Why candidates ghost and what it reveals about communication and expectation gaps
• How structured onboarding, EVP alignment and ongoing performance management turn new hires into high-performing, long-term contributors
• Why managing talent holistically is crucial to achieving sustained business growth
